dc.abstract.enKnowledge of the molecular background of hereditary diseases facilitates the unambiguous diagnosis of affected animals and the identification of healthy carriers, which is particularly important from a breeding perspective. To date 330 canine diseases with at least one known causative variant have been described. Degenerative myelopathy (DM), caused by a mutation in the SOD1 gene; progressive rod-cone degeneration (PRCD), caused by a mutation in the PRCD gene; and hyperuricosuria (HUU), caused by a mutation in the SLC2A9 gene, are among the most common monogenic autosomal recessive diseases identified in numerous dog breeds; however, their incidence varies significantly among breeds. The Labrador Retriever is a popular breed in Poland, and it was assumed that the known causative DNA variants for these three diseases are also present in its gene pool. The aim of this study was to analyze the distribution of these causal mutations in the Polish population of this breed. In total, 200 dogs were studied using Sanger sequencing. Among them, 32 carriers (16%) and 4 affected individuals (2%) were identified for PRCD, and 2 carriers (1%) were identified for HUU, while all studied dogs were free of the SOD1 mutation. The results obtained were compared with data for over 16,800 Labrador Retrievers published by Donner et al. (2023). We concluded that the frequency of the causal mutation responsible for DM in the Polish population is lower, while the frequencies of the causative variants for PRCD (0.01) and HUU (0.005) are slightly higher.
